I'll take that bet. If nothing else general advances in health and nutrition will have caused the average ball size to grow in the last 100 years (not to mention hormones in animal produce).
Now it's 40 years or so later, I live in GA, and my kids are not allowed to ride their bikes to school. Walkers at my daughter's middle school require permits that they have to pay a fee for.
That is the craziest thing I have ever heard of. I was going to comment about it, but itsso crazy I really don't know what to say....
I agree its an awful idea, but what really concerns me is that it probably doesn't have to be that successful for every fecker to give it a go and then every book will come wrapped in its own app.
Apart from the multimedia crap (and obviously the money/power play involved) there's really no reason for it to come in its own app. I mean is there any technical reason you can't release a chapter at a time on Kindle/Kobo/Nook/whatever?
Scary stuff. Makes me glad I don't live in a nation where I have to carry a gun when I go to bed. I can honestly say I have never felt that kind of ongoing fear for my safety and for that I'm honestly glad.
Genuine question - do you not see a need for society to do something about that ongoing, low level fear (I'm not saying what the answer would be)? Or are you happy having to take a loaded firearm to bed?
Sorry, that sounds convincing since we're a nation of whipped puppies, but its not true. You don't have to follow the national curriculum - https://www.gov.uk/home-educat... (and I'm fairly sure you don't have to be inspected by Ofsted).
I'm not denying that some good may come out of it, but Gates and Zuck are not 'giving their money away' . They are investing it in a 'foundation' which they and their descendants retain control of. If they lost all their other money tomorrow they are still guaranteed an income (as Chairman/Chief Exec of the Foo Foundation) that would keep them in the lifestyle to which they are accustomed. And the power and influence that comes with that.
Buffet I couldn't speak for, as I haven't read what he intends to do.
Your fancy education is wrong. I know several ways to get a free lunch, including - picking it from a tree, shooting and cooking it, going through the bins (trash), eating roadkill, visiting my gran's house, shoplifting, etc, etc.
How did they get October 2016 a year early? Is there some kind of pre-release scheme I'm not aware of?
More importantly, should they really be releasing the results so long before the rest of us get some sweet October next year action? Its totally ruined the surprise.
But wait... now you can actually be that level 20 half-orc thief sitting in a cave playing a game of 'Actuaries and Accountants' with a wizard, a fighter and a naked Amazonian.
The future has arrived....and its much duller than you could possibly have imaged.
Why? Honestly, I'm interested - I'm not aware of anything unique to communism that requires force to succeed.
On the other hand, doesn't any modern political system require force to succeed? How else is the rule of law enforced? How does the free market prevent me just taking what I want?
But you could argue that if its going on for 30 days its no longer 'bad weather', that's 'climate' (not to mention that if its taking you 30 days to get to work something has gone wrong)

The 50's called, they'd like their sexual attitudes back.

I suffer from fickle rectum you insensitive clod!
That's Yanks for you - turn up late, eat all the food and demand all the attention. In that respect they are just like my mother-in-law (badoom tish)

And who is going to appointed to be in charge of setting these limits?
Me. No, no problem, Happy to help, besides its easy work
Also, a solar EMP pulse has destroyed all technology on Earth, you have genital crabs and your dog done gone left. Its a hard knock life
Well done
Oh, Dad. Stop coming on here and embarrassing me in front of my friends.
Yawn

Its the jumping, Every time someone on the atoll jumps, its sinks by a tiny amount. Unfortunately pogo sticks are the national pastime.

I wish I had mod points so I could give you a '+1 KO' mod!
Was it a good review? Should I pre-order or wait to get it on sale?
Just to add - a simple typo like that is enough to give my conspiracy liking friends a hard on until next October.

I'm honestly not sure if that was sarcasm, but if Norway is a failure then I want to be on the losing side.
